First Claim
1. An external programming system for an implantable medical device comprising:
- a communication circuit configured to link to the implantable medical device to transmit or monitor a timing parameter setting for the implantable medical device;
a display device configured to display,at least one textual representation of the timing parameter setting,at least one textual representation of a specified limit for the timing parameter setting,at least one graphical slide control comprising a movable feature indicating the timing parameter setting,a graphical slide-control limit corresponding to the specified limit for the timing parameter setting,a graphical representation of physiologic information including a portion of said graphical representation aligned with the slide control movable feature, anda graphical representation of a sensing window aligned with the graphical representation of physiologic information;
an input device configured to adjust the movable feature in response to a user input; and
a processor configured to monitor adjustment of the timing parameter setting for compliance with programming rules associated with the implantable medical device, and store an adjusted timing parameter setting in the implantable medical device.

Abstract
An external programming system and method for implantable medical devices (IMDs) is disclosed. The external programming system includes a communication circuit, a display device, an input device, and a processor. The communication circuit is configured to link to an IMD to transmit or monitor IMD timing parameter settings. The display device is configured to display a textual representation of an IMD timing parameter setting and a specified IMD timing parameter limit, a graphical slide control comprising a movable feature indicating the IMD timing parameter setting, a graphical slide-control limit corresponding to the specified IMD timing parameter limit, and a graphical representation of physiologic information including a portion of said graphical representation aligned with the slide control movable feature. The input device is configured to adjust the movable feature in response to user input. The processor is configured to monitor or store an IMD timing parameter setting.

10. A method for programming an implantable medical device using
an external programming system, the method comprising: -
displaying at least one textual representation of a timing parameter setting associated with the implantable medical device; displaying at least one textual representation of a specified limit for the timing parameter setting; displaying at least one graphical slide control controlling the timing parameter setting; adjusting a graphical slide control movable feature in response to a user input; indicating a proposed change in the timing parameter setting with the movable feature; limiting a range of motion of the graphical slide control movable feature corresponding to the specified limit for the timing parameter setting; displaying a graphical representation of physiologic information; aligning a portion of said graphical representation with the graphical slide control movable feature; displaying a sensing window aligned with the graphical representation of physiologic information; monitoring the proposed change in the timing parameter setting for compliance with programming rules associated with the implantable medical device; and communicating the proposed change in the timing parameter setting to the implantable medical device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium including instructions that, when performed by the machine, cause the machine to:
-
display at least one textual representation of a timing parameter setting associated with a implantable medical device; display at least one textual representation of a specified limit for the timing parameter setting; display at least one graphical slide control controlling the timing parameter setting; adjust a graphical slide control movable feature in response to a user input; indicate a proposed change in the timing parameter setting with the movable feature; limit a range of motion of the graphical slide control movable feature corresponding to the specified limit for the timing parameter setting; display a graphical representation of physiologic information; align a portion of said graphical representation with the graphical slide control movable feature; display a sensing window aligned with the graphical representation of physiologic information; monitor the proposed change in the timing parameter setting, for compliance with programming rules associated with the implantable medical device; and communicate the proposed change in the timing parameter to the implantable medical device.
